What's in Our Future?

The essence of capitalism is aiding and abetting the wealthy to accumulate more and more capital (wealth). This is justified by the rationalization that living in a free society we all have the opportunity to amass our own fortunes. The reality is that as the wealthy become progressively more and more wealthy (the very nature of capitalism), they use their wealth to squeeze the working class that provides their labor and so insure their own dominance at the top of the heap.
